This is a worse appointment than what Allarydyce would be. We knows what allardyce would be and so does he. Short term fix. What about next season? Does dyche have us challenging the top 4? winning cups? No he doesn't.

He's a negative type manager. And the only managers who are successful with that nowadays play with unlimited money and the best players.

If we are looking at possession percentages surely it's fairer to look at the numbers in the championship against teams with at least similar budgets rather than what he does against squads worth 10 times what burnleys is worth

Atletico have unlimited money? They are constantly losing their best players and replacing them with cheaper. What they have financially has been earned on the back of that negative football

Really don't understand the suggestion that 1 type of football is more successful than another. Leicester won the league playing negative football. Which teams are successful playing open football on a small budget. I'd suggest the only examples of success on a limited budget are Leicester and atletico both playing defensive football

Both are terrible terrible examples. Atletico playing negative football is a myth. In certain big games yes. Some of the technical players they have had over the years we could only dream of.

Leicester as well. Not negative. They fought fire with fire that seasson. The opposite of what an allardyce type team does.

Atletico play negative football with some great players. Think that's kind of my point. The football gets better depending on the squad. Dyche here (with a successful transfer window) would play much better football than dyche at Burnley. It's the players much more than the managers style that defines the standard.

Leicester and atletico are both defensive non possession teams. Who plays open football on their budgets with anything like their success.

I actually think it's easier to get results playing defensively. You can organise a defence brilliantly much easier than you can get 4 or 5 world class players on a budget
